King Anton was bent on pushing for reform, but there was strong opposition at home. The court consulted several times, but the internal could not be unified.

Seeing that time passed day by day, King Anton made up his mind and decided to push forward the change by himself.

To change the law means to sacrifice, to kill, to use a knife against the ruling class. King Anton first deposed Raymond, the prime minister who opposed the change, and killed him with his own hands at the court.

Raymond is a talent selected by Anton himself, and he has followed him for twenty years, and there is a marriage between the children of the two. Despite such a close relationship, Raymond secretly opposed the change, and King Anton still wanted to kill him.

After killing Raymond, Anton continued to issue new decrees.

The first was the decree of pardon serfs, which was issued by the kingdom of Delong more radically than the kingdom of Haland, directly pardoning the domestic serfs as freemen.

Then the kingdom of Andong took out the grain and coins in the treasury, arranged for the freed serfs to reclaim the wasteland and official land, and rented the farmland controlled by the royal family to the freedmen who had been reborn at a low price.

In addition, the kingdom of Delong followed the example of the kingdom of Haaland and continued to issue decrees on the protection of private property.

Immediately afterwards, the Mage Association of the Delong Kingdom made the inheritance public, broke the shackles of bloodline, and began to select people from all over the country.

Less than a month after the change, the Delong Kingdom implemented the fourth law reform decree and began to hold examinations across the country, following the example of Harland's leader to select officials through the examination, and implementing the otherworldly version of the imperial examination decree.

This was followed by the issuance of the Fifth Decree on the Establishment of Education. King Anton followed Richard's example and established schools in the territory and began to train a large number of talents, because he had more resources at his disposal, he opened more than thirty schools at once, enrolling more than 10,000 students.

After the promulgation of the education decree, the Kingdom of Anton then introduced the decree of exchanging gold coins for meritorious deeds, stipulating that one hundred gold coins were exchanged for a small merit and one hundred thousand gold coins were exchanged for a barony.

In order to promote technological progress, the Kingdom of Anton even disregarded face, worshipped craftsmen as teachers, and then followed the example of Haaland and issued a patent protection decree.

After promoting the reform of the law, King Anton acted vigorously and resolutely, and in less than three months, he issued seven edicts and successively promoted seven laws and regulations to change the law.

The process of changing the law is so radical and rapid that conservatives in the country are overwhelmed. When the opposition nobles finally reacted and began to connect.

The Kingdom of Anton directly killed Raymond in the court and used Raymond's head to intimidate everyone.

Because the king's change of law violated the interests of the hereditary nobility, a large number of hereditary nobles began to collude and voted against the implementation of the new law in the noble council.

The new law could not be passed at the Council of Nobles, and King Anton once again broke with the norm and issued the Eighth Decree of the King, announcing the closure of the Council of Nobles and the introduction of absolute monarchy.

After the promulgation of the Eighth Decree, a large number of nobles raised the banner of rebellion and formed a coalition of nobles.

After years of rectification, King Anton has assembled an elite Praetorian Guard. This Praetorian Guard numbered more than 100,000 men and was completely under Anton's control.

With the support of this Praetorian Guard, King Anton dared to promote the reform of the law and clean up the interests in the country.

King Anton is close to seventy years old, but his body and energy are well maintained, and he has not reached the dilemma of old age and decay. The Kingdom of Anton itself is a legendary second-order knight who can live to the age of one hundred and forty or fifty, and at this time his lifespan is only close to half, and there is enough time to ensure the smooth implementation of the new law.

Because of the insistence on pushing for the new law, an internal war broke out in the kingdom of Delong.

The royal guards and the aristocratic coalition army were united, and King Anton arranged for the eldest prince Oliver to supervise the kingdom and personally fight in armor to participate in the war to pacify the nobles.

King Anton pushed for the change and did choose a favorable time.

Two years ago, under the mediation of the Divine Radiance Empire, the two kingdoms of Haaland and Grant signed a thirty-year peace contract with Delong and Lane, and the two sides agreed not to take the initiative to cause conflicts and provoke conflicts.

In order to ensure the fulfillment of the peace covenant, Shikoku invited the Church of the Monarchy. Fairness and justice were impartial, the seal of royal power was stamped, draconian terms were drawn up, and important people in the country signed the contract.

Because the power of the royal seal cannot severely damage the soul of the legendary professional, the contract signed by the Kingdom of Haaland is signed by the eldest prince Philip, the prince Vivian, the prime minister of the government council, Wendini, the wife of the Richard court, and Hayden, the consul of Vera Province.

The people signed by the Delong Kingdom are also high-ranking and powerful, including King Anton's queen Hathaway, the eldest prince Oliver, the second prince Hudson, and even the prime minister Raymond, who was beheaded by Anton, are all on the list of signing peace contracts.

Due to the signing of the peace contract, coupled with the joint justice of the Church of Crown, the Church of Justice and Justice, and the Holy Radiance Empire, none of the three families of Lane, Grant, and Haaland can directly interfere in the internal war of the Delong Kingdom.

Because according to the treaty drawn up by the four parties, it was impossible to send an army of more than 1,000 men to attack the enemy town.

In a large-scale war such as the Civil War in the Kingdom of Delong, the elite of a thousand men could not play a decisive role at all. Unless the Haaland Leader can expand the Knights of the Wyvern to 1,000 people, he will have the strength to take advantage of the loopholes in the Treaty of the Four Kingdoms and interfere in the internal war of the Delong Kingdom.

After refining his divinity, Richard prepared to leave the province of Rex, and the consul of the province was transferred by Minister of the Interior Martin.

The Ministry of the Interior has a high position in Haaland, and its responsibilities are equivalent to those of Richard's previous political and legal officials, and it also supervises the security forces, which is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the armed police.

Martin is an old man of the Haaland Kingdom, he was originally William's old unit in the army, and the Harland family retired from the military after becoming a hereditary nobleman and came to serve Richard. He has been with Haaland for 30 years, and has followed William and Richard for most of his life, and is very loyal.

The first squadron of the Haaland Kingdom is an aristocratic hill, and Martin and Jennings are the core. Martin was the first captain of the first squadron, and Richard's earliest right-hand men, Jennings, Sula, Lossster and others, were all Martin's old subordinates. Although his influence in the army is no longer as deep as that of Soros and Jennings, Martin's status is still very important, and he is a real meritorious veteran of the Haaland Kingdom.

Now that Martin is in his sixties, and his professional level has been raised to the eighth rank, there is basically no possibility of becoming a legend at his age.

Martin's father and son have been shrewd and capable for both generations, and his son Levine has a higher talent than Martin, and at the age of less than forty, his professional rank has already caught up with his father.

Father and son have fought in the Kingdom of Harland for thirty years, and both have obtained hereditary titles, which can be regarded as Richard's most relied on cronies. The military exploits of the two generations of father and son will soon be promoted to the viscount class.

It was because of this status that Martin was sent by Richard to sit in the province of Ricks.

With 280,000 square kilometers of land, more than 10 million people, and a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers from the mainland, Rex Province naturally has a strong centrifugal tendency, and it is necessary to have important ministers in charge.

Fortunately, the Harland Territory has the legendary magical plant Dream Tree, which can act as a radio station, and Richard, Sophia, and Margaret can all contact the high-level of Rex Province through the dream, otherwise it will be more difficult to govern this territory.

Because it was too far away from home, Richard was ready to set up an ultra-long-distance teleportation array.

The Haaland Mage Association is no stranger to teleportation arrays.

After so many years of development, the Harland Mage Guild has successfully established a number of teleportation arrays, starting with ultra-short-distance teleportation arrays, to short-distance teleportation arrays, and then to medium-distance teleportation arrays.

Today, the medium-distance teleportation array arranged by the Harland Mage Association can directly teleport from the Mage Tower near Fort William to the dragon's lair 360 kilometers away in a straight line.

Of course, Harland has not yet built a long-distance teleportation array with a teleportation distance of more than 2,500 kilometers, let alone an ultra-long-distance teleportation array with a teleportation distance of more than 2,500 kilometers.

To build a teleportation array, you need to open a portal, calculate the most suitable teleportation channel, and use a spatial altar to stabilize the teleportation channel.

The higher the level of the teleportation array, the longer the distance, the more precious the materials used to build the space altar.

In fact, high-level mages don't need teleportation arrays much. Magicians can master teleportation spells, and after being promoted to the fourth ring, they can master short-distance teleportation spells.

After mastering the short-distance teleportation method, you can teleport up to 10 kilometers away by releasing standard magic. This magic is very helpful for mages to avoid danger.

After being promoted to the Seven Rings, you can also master medium-range teleportation spells, which can be teleported to a distance of 30 kilometers.

When promoted to the Nine Rings, the mage can also learn the long-distance teleportation technique, which can easily teleport a hundred kilometers away. If you release a powerful spell, the maximum teleportation distance is about 300 kilometers.

After the mage is promoted to Legendary, he can also master the Legendary Teleportation Technique, which can teleport a distance of 1,000 kilometers at a time.

Legendary mages like Richard and Sophia, if they want to quickly rush from the mainland of the Harland Kingdom to the province of Rex, it will take a maximum of one hour to release three legendary magics.

A high-level magician like Wendy, although his magic power is far inferior to that of Richard and Sophia, there are enough magic crystals on the road, and it will only take a day or two at most to rush desperately. Flying classes such as the Lion Crane and the Wyvern need to be delayed on the road for five or six days. As for the army of ordinary professionals, there were no military stations along the way, and it would take several months to walk by land, and about ten days by sea.

The construction of an ultra-long-distance teleportation array actually saves the time of the following professions of legend, which is convenient for ordinary soldiers to reinforce, and of course, after the teleportation array is established, it can also save the mana of legendary magicians. After all, when three legendary magic spells are released, it will consume at least a thousand magic points, and it will not be possible to make up for it in a few days.

To build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array, you need a legendary-level space treasure to act as the core of the teleportation altar.

Although the Mage Association of the Harland Kingdom treasures many treasures, there are no legendary-level space materials in the treasure house, and if you want to build the teleportation array, you still need to wait for the opportunity, and I don't know how long it will take.

Richard was about to leave the province of Rex when he received news of civil unrest in the kingdom of Delong.

Martin, who had just arrived, changed his face and paid a secret visit overnight.

"Your Majesty, a civil war has broken out in the Kingdom of Delong, what should we do? King Anton is a heroic hero, and if he succeeds in changing the law and eliminating civil strife, it will become a big problem for us in the future.

At critical times, even if we make some sacrifices, we must be determined to solve this problem. ”

Although Martin did not say it explicitly, Richard understood the implication.

Martin hopes that at a critical time, Richard will not be tied up by family affection, even if it is at the expense of Philip, Vivian, Hayden, and Rogge, he must focus on the overall situation. When it was time to tear up the treaty, it was time to tear up the treaty decisively, defeat the Delong Kingdom in one fell swoop, and eliminate this hidden danger.

As a nobleman who climbed up from the commoners, Martin's ideas were a little radical, even though he knew that saying such words would offend the powerful and affect Richard's perception of him, but he still did not hesitate and took the initiative to advise.

From an ordinary soldier to a murderous general, and surviving brutal battles, Martin not only relied on force and luck, but his judgment of the situation was the most important reason. In fact, people like them, who have risen from the pile of dead people, although they have not received much education, have a very intelligent IQ.

Who is a threat to them, Martin is unusually sober.

Just from the point of the Delong Kingdom's promotion of the change, Martin immediately felt the danger of King Anton.

For Martin, his family has long been tied to the kingdom of Haaland, and he has followed William and Richard for fifty years in his life, and he has never had two hearts. For the sake of the overall situation of the Haaland Kingdom, Martin believes in his heart that anyone can be sacrificed. Richard's relatives and children can be sacrificed, and their father and son can also be sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation.

After sending Martin away, Richard suddenly had mixed feelings. He knew in his heart that his subordinates were all tigers and wolves, and the heroes of the founding of the country were often extremely fierce because of their experience. Because of the existence of super-magical power in this world, this ferocity will even be magnified.

Even Jennings, who usually behaves more mildly, is also ruthless at critical moments.

There is no ruthlessness in the character, and it is impossible to lead troops during the war years.

"If he and Sophia were gone, Philip would never have been able to suppress this group of people. Fortunately, Sophia and I drank the water of life, and we have a lifespan far beyond that of our subjects, and we can survive these founding heroes to death, and we don't need to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's example to slaughter them. Richard shook his head, dispelling the gloom in his heart.

Although his mind has been assimilated by this world, he is never soft on killing, he can be called ruthless, and he is far from having such a high moral standard as in his previous life. But compared with Martin's natives, he still lacks a ruthlessness.

Indigenous nobles, for the sake of interests, do not care about family affection at all, father and son cannibalism, wives and children against each other are common things for nobles.

And his heart is still affected by the peaceful life of more than 30 years in his previous life, and there is always warmth in his heart, so he can only be ruthless to outsiders, and he has no ruthlessness to use the knife against himself, and he can't make up his mind to sacrifice his relatives at all.

It is also difficult to accept in my heart that I use the lives of my son, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, brother, and wife to paralyze my opponents and realize my ambitions.
